Stefan....do check the HC SD card. They do come lose and or sometimes corrupt. You can take it (them) out and re-format rebuild the Card files thru GFU or other methods. In fact I have to use on board SD card to flash the ARM with its bootloader when replacing an ARM.


SD cards do not last forever...a 32Gb will fit but be overkill...bit no harm there and no hard in replacing. A good quality 16gb is a good choice. Try not to buy ones that too slow...but it doesn't need the highest speed cards as well!

Peters idea of checking the HC cord is valid....indeed even re-terminating its end at the main unit. Always goes bad there. You can usually wriggle the plug and get it to come good go bad.....

Another trick is to set the Serial/gps (serial port 2) to 56700 bps and plug the HC into that port...just to see if its not a port socket issue. Do set the port back to its original value after.

But 100% sure its a bad SD card...probably replace them both. Here is a link to SD card re builder you can use GFU. .

If you replace the battery do set DTG in the system as soon as you can. Can be done thru WEB interface if HC is not working

My email is thru this forum or the IO groups....


cheers
